Synthetic MRI as a T2WI alternative in bp-MRI: comparable image quality and improved PI-RADS performance
Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most prevalent malignant neoplasm among men globally, with its incidence rising significantly in China and Eastern European countries [1]. In recent years, multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mp-MRI), which includes T2-weighted imaging (T2WI), diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), and dynamic contrast-enhanced imaging (DCE), has increasingly played a significant role in the non-invasive diagnosis of PCa [2]. To standardize MRI scan parameters and improve i…

Analysis of the coronary artery calcium score for identifying coronary artery plaque in patients clinically referred for preventive screening with non-typical symptoms stratified by age and sex
This article evaluates how age and sex affect the diagnostic value of the coronary artery calcium (CAC) score in detecting coronary plaque on coronary CT angiography in a patients who were clinically referred for CAD prevention screening with non-typical symptoms. It analyzed 1372 patients undergoing CAC scoring and coronary CT angiography. Findings show that CAC score’s sensitivity increases with age and is generally higher in males and those on lipid-lowering therapy. A CAC score of 0 is less …

Sept. 3, 2025 — According to ARRS’ American Journal of Roentgenology (AJR), a commercial artificial intelligence (AI) system achieved high negative predictive value (NPV) but also demonstrated higher recall rates than radiologists when applied to large digital mammography (DM) and digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) screening cohorts.
“In our study of more than 30,000 mammographic examinations, AI reliably identified negative cases with NPV compara…
